Cub Swanson
American Mixed Martial Artist
When someone throws a power shot and you want to counter, you have to lean into it as you block it so that you can come right out with what you are throwing. If you roll away or lean back, it's going to knock you off balance, and you won't be able to counter the punch. Being able to do that comes from experience, and life is the same exact way.
Quote examples
Oleksandr Usyk
Ukrainian Athlete
There are two different kinds of spectacular fighters. One is a subtle counter puncher who shows the work like chess. It's kind of an art, sports art. The other kind is when a guy has blood on all his body. That's a second kind of spectacular fighter, and people enjoy both. Both kind of fighters need to be respected.
